PITTsBURa. Sept. 18.-In interview with
Post reporter tonight John Ward, of the New
York baseball club, and president of the
Brotherhood of National League Base ball Play
ers, stated that President Young and his col
leagues had far refused to recognize the
brotherhood They were willing to confer with
committee of League players. bat not a dele
CATION from any brotherhood. eff this resolve
is persisted in," said he. 'thsre will be trouble
The brotherhood has come to stay, and not one
OF will sign a contract until q delegation from
our organization confers with the representa-
tives of the National League. They must recog-
nize organization. President Young
and others look upon something weak but
they will find out their mistake if conflict
takes place"
''If the League steadfastly refuses to recognize
your brotherhood. and none of you sign, will an
other organization be formedl"
Mr.. Ward smiled he replied: II am not at
liberty to say what will do. Let me say,
however, that there is plenty of money at our
disposal to organize any association league.
We know of any amount OF capitalists who want
to invest their money in baseball / will go
further and say that we will be recognized as
an organization. and we will all play next year,
whether the League people like it or not"
In regard to the sudden reinstatement of Rad
bourne by the Boston management, Ward said
that if the brotherhood had not existed Rad
bourne might yet have been without work and
without salary. He stated, further, that the
union meant to respect the reserve rule. but
would not tolerate a system by which honest
player can be cast aside for weeks without pay,
simply because be is not playing well as the
club directors would like.
